Priora 2 installation of a 2din radio instead of an on-board computer

Starting with the first generation Lada Priora, AVTOVAZ began installing standard multimedia systems or simply radio tape recorders on its cars. Of course, the second generation of the popular model was not deprived of this option, but only in medium and expensive trim levels. Basic modifications come off the assembly line without a “head” at all, and a plug is installed instead.

At the same time, the manufacturer has also made life difficult for owners of inexpensive Lada Priora configurations by the fact that the hole for the 1 DIN radio has a non-standard trapezoid shape, so even to install a regular radio, the owner will need an adapter frame.

But if the owner of a Priora 2 in the basic configuration decides to install a 2DIN radio, then he will need to completely change the center console of his Lada Priora (VAZ 2170, 2172).

Fortunately, buying a 2 DIN center console is not a problem at all. In particular, there is a matte center console on sale, similar to the one installed on the AVTOVAZ assembly line. This front panel has a cutout of standard size 2 DIN, in which a standard large radio tape recorder can be easily installed and secured. You just have to be careful when buying Chinese “mafons”, which do not always have generally accepted sizes.

It is also possible to report that installing a 2 DIN car radio is one of the most popular attributes, which goes along with replacing the steering wheel and tires. Let's ask the question, what is fundamentally important for a comfortable trip? Adapter frames for installing car radios. Owners of modern cars, regardless of the year and model, quite often encounter a problem: a standard radio tape recorder of 2 DIN or 1 DIN size. I finally received a new 2din radio tape recorder based on Android OS.

The radio is made in China, but is of high quality. By and large, the impressions are mixed. When she came to me and I turned her on for the first time at home on the table from the power supply, there was some kind of feeling and frustration of deception.

The thing is that this radio has two “sets”, the first (loads in less than 5 seconds) is a set that allows you to listen to the radio, music from a disk, USB, SD, AUX input, watch TV, use Bluetooth, etc. in words, communicate the most necessary set of functions in a car; the second set is precisely a set based on Android, but it is turned on with a special button, which I have already identified at random (although there are instructions, they are in very broken English and it is difficult to understand anything from it). So the first set turned on for me, of course I was immediately upset, because it was stated that it had Android. But later, after poking it for a couple of hours and studying each button, a feeling of complete admiration came, due to the fact that this radio tape recorder is not just a radio tape recorder at all, but practically a full-fledged computer, which can be forced to do anything, it all depends only on your imagination and the installed software .

The radio has the following characteristics, capabilities and functions: - Android core CPU: TCC8925 1.2GHz - Memory: 1G DDR3, 4G Flash - External memory: SDHC card (up to 32GB) and USB drive - Screen size: 8 inches, touch - Resolution: 800*480(WVGA) - Possibility of connecting a Wi-Fi module (included) and a 3G modem, for this there are 2 USB ports on the rear wall of the radio; — Possibility of connecting iPod; — It has an analog TV tuner (with an antenna (simple “horns” from an old TV set) that picks up more than 10 channels, 7 of which are, by and large, without ripples in very good quality); — Has a full set of RCA outputs, including a subwoofer; — Video input from rear view camera; — Video input (presumably it is possible to make a front-view camera or connect a video recorder so that you can view the footage on a huge screen); — 2 video outputs to video headrests; — Reproduces every audio-video format (I controlled it myself, everything that I didn’t put on a flash drive, everything is reproduced); — Views possibly report every disc (DVD/DVD+R/DVD-R/DVD-RW/MP3/CD/CD-RW); — On the front panel there is a miniUSB input for connecting a flash drive (a miniUSB to USB adapter is included in the kit), and two SD slots (one is used to expand the internal memory and install Android programs), the second is for listening and watching music/movies/photos; The cost of installing a radio depends on the set of the car radio itself. Installation of 1 din radio, installation of 2 din radio and installation of standard radio are the most popular services. — The kit includes a GPS antenna; after installing the navigation program (CityGID, ProGorod) and the necessary maps, we get full-fledged navigation on a huge screen. By the way, the location search is virtually instantaneous, the signal level is very good, provided that the antenna is “magnetized” directly to the body of the radio itself; - Remote control. Radio tape recorder - rear wall Before I connected it to the car for the first time, I was afraid of only one thing, that it would play like a Chinese “balalaika” for 1000 rubles.

But I was afraid in vain, its sound is at least no worse than that of the standard radio, and perhaps even better, at least it somehow produces more bass. installation and connection of the radio I installed it on the standard brackets as follows: to make it easier to do this, I removed the climate control panel so that it was possible to hold the radio with my hand by sticking my hand from below; I screwed the standard brackets to the panel and inserted (without screwing) the radio, then snapped the new 2din frame (without deflectors!), adjusted the position of the radio in the frame, and marked with a marker the placement of the brackets relative to the body of the radio through the holes where the deflectors should be located. Then he removed the frame and the radio, drilled holes in the brackets and used standard screws (the pitch and diameter of the threads were completely identical) and secured the brackets to the body of the radio.

But with the connection everything was not so easy. The main wiring harness is connected to the radio, at the end of which there is a regular ISO connector. Based on this, an ISO adapter was purchased to connect to the standard wiring in the Lancer X. This adapter contains 8 wires for connecting speakers, two power wires (+12V and ACC) and a ground wire (along with this, there are 5 free spaces in the block ), in other words, this provides a minimum set of necessary connections, allowing the radio to turn on and play sound. But besides this, it has many other functions!

Connection diagram

The factory connection diagram does not provide for the supply of positive power through the contact plates of the ignition switch (red cable). To ensure correct operation of the device, it is necessary to remove an additional cable from the circuit, which is energized only when the ignition is turned on. The line must be protected by a fuse rated at least 15 A (for example, a cigarette lighter circuit).

An additional signal, ensuring the safety of the settings when the car is stationary, is supplied using a wire with a yellow insulator. The cable is routed to a circuit connected to the positive terminal of the battery. There is also a ground connection in the power circuit. The power and speaker cables are routed into the instrument panel; to connect the head unit, you will need an ISO standard adapter.

Most car radio installers connect the radio incorrectly. Let's consider the correct connection of the radio on the Prior.

The traditional way to connect a radio is to connect the red and yellow wires in parallel. In this case, turning on/off is carried out only using the button on the radio panel. It is not right! Some radios are designed schematically so that the radio amplifier (output stages) is constantly powered in standby mode. Accordingly, such a radio will consume increased current, which can lead to rapid discharge of the battery when the car is parked for a long time.

Let's consider the correct connection of the radio: black wire - ground; yellow wire - power supply to the radio and memory power supply, +12 volts, from the battery; red wire - signal to turn on the radio, low-current +12 volts (logical '1'); blue wire - turns on the antenna or other devices (low-current +12 volts when the radio is on).

To reduce consumption in standby mode, you can assemble a simple electrical circuit that will connect the radio via the ignition switch. Now the signal to turn on the radio will come from the ignition switch (or through the button, if you prefer the second connection method), and will not drain the battery in standby mode

In my circuit I used existing Schottky diodes brand 10BQ040 (1A, 40V). Because diodes in an SMB package, then to mount them I made a small board 3x1.5 cm, cutting it out of a piece of an old signet. If you choose diodes with legs, you can do without a board.

The order of assembling the circuit. We solder two diodes VD1 and VD2 onto the board (cathode to cathode). We take four wires 15 cm long: - solder the 1st (red) to the VD1 anode; — 2nd (red) solder to the cathodes VD1 and VD2; - Solder the 3rd and 4th (blue) to the VD2 anode

There is no need to remove the console to connect the circuit! It is enough to remove the radio and the slide.

The photo shows the standard audio connectors (brown – speaker output; gray – power and ground). There is no yellow wire in the standard gray connector. From the battery there is only a red wire with a branch to the contact of the yellow wire and the contact of the red wire of the radio - this is how the parallel connection of the red and yellow wires was implemented incorrectly from the factory.

The order of connecting the circuit: - The free end of wire 1 is connected to contact 1 of the rear window heating button - The free end of wire 2 is connected to the red wire from the radio - The free end of wire 3 is connected to the blue wire for turning on the antenna from the radio - The free end of wire 4 is connected to the blue wire from the antenna We fix the board in the housing with a plastic tie motionlessly inside the torpedo.

Note: No twisting, only soldering! Insulate the soldering areas with heat shrink or electrical tape. To avoid a short circuit during installation, it is better to disconnect the battery.

With this connection option, the radio will turn on only when the ignition is on, but will be able to work even after the ignition is turned off, until you turn it off yourself. Restarting is only possible with the ignition on.

It is also possible to connect the radio in a second way - not through the ignition switch, but through a separate button

You can use any button, but to make everything look harmonious, I bought a Priora PTF power button (price 80 rubles/piece) and a contact block with wires to it (price 25 rubles/piece).

How to install the device itself

The radio is installed in the Priora in a standard socket designed for mounting a 1 Din standard holder. The metal shaft is inserted into a rectangular hole, and then secured using metal antennae, which are bent with a screwdriver. Then the owner connects the cables and antenna, and then installs the head unit housing into the shaft until the side spring clamps are activated. Installation work is completed with the installation of a decorative plastic frame and front panel, then the equipment is tested.

Are you a car driver?! Then you can take this simple test and find out. Go to test »

To integrate a 2-Din radio into the Lada Priora, you will need to modify the car's design:

Remove the battery from the car, and then carefully separate the plastic cover with air channels located in the center of the dashboard. The part is held in place by plastic clips; a mounting spatula is used for removal. Together with the cover, the connecting cables are removed and attached to the back of the cover.
Disconnect the plugs from the retaining pads (located on the back of the small items drawer), and then connect the media player adapter.
Connect the adapter to the radio and output an additional power cord (for the red wire).
Restore power to the vehicle's on-board network and check the correct operation of additional equipment at different positions of the key in the lock.
Cut a window in the plastic cover that matches the dimensions of the multimedia center body. A hacksaw is used for cutting; the edges are finished using a file.
Insert a metal clip, which is fixed by bending the triangular antennae.
Install the trim in its original place, passing the wiring harness through the mounting shaft into the car interior. If the machine does not have an antenna, then it is necessary to mount the device and lay a separate coaxial cable. The cord is routed through the upper part of the cabin under the pillar trims and the headliner. It is not recommended to lay the cable along the floor of the cabin, since passengers will touch the wiring with their feet.
If the head unit design uses a rear USB connector, the plug can be installed in the glove box or on the surface of the center console.
Reinstall all the removed parts, and then check the operation of the radio.

If you plan to replace the standard radio in a Priora 2 car (manufactured after 2003), then remove the gearshift lever cover, which will allow you to unscrew the screws securing the trim (additional screws are located in the niche of the cup holder). The central cover is secured with screws located under the radio socket plug, the switch block and the cup holder niche. After removing the standard plastic pocket, it is necessary to secure the player's mounting shaft to the panel frame; the antenna cable is pulled out from the niche under the glove compartment.

Decoding problems

The main pitfall of the described procedure lies in the security code embedded in the memory of most radio tape recorders. The bottom line is this: disconnecting the music center from the external power supply for 10-15 minutes will lead to the fact that the next time you turn on the car radio, it will require you to enter a security code (usually a four-digit one), without which it will not function.

Advice. Removing the device to replace it with a new one is not a problem, unless you plan to use the old player on another machine. In any case, try not to disconnect the battery for a long time.

The device requests a code after connecting to the on-board network

If the card with the code is lost or missing, the issue can be resolved in several ways:

when it comes to a standard device, for a certain fee they will help you find the code at a dealership that sells cars of your brand;
there are companies and individual specialists dealing with these problems;
the free way is to search for code using various programs.

Serial number location

Regardless of the method chosen, you will have to remove the radio from the socket to find out the serial number. It is printed along with a barcode on a tag glued to the side or top of the case. After taking out the device, rewrite these numbers, and then try to calculate the PIN code using them using various online calculators on the Internet. If it was not possible to determine the required code using this method, then remove the music center and take it to specialists in this field and prepare to pay for their services.

Important point. If you do not know the PIN code of the radio, then when searching on your own, do not enter combinations of numbers more than 3 times! Otherwise, the device will be blocked, and in this state, decoding it will cost much more.

The issue of removing a car radio from its socket is not very difficult and will not require much time. But the consequences can be unexpected for an unprepared motorist. Hence the last piece of advice: find the lost pin code before turning off and removing the player in order to save your time and nerves.

In order to remove a standard car radio from a car, no special skills are required. All that is required is a set of special keys supplied with the device. But what if there are no keys? In this case, is it possible to remove the radio from the niche without breaking it? This is what we will discuss in today’s article.

Useful tips

Since the ignition switch in Lada Priora cars does not control the power supply to the radio, it is permissible to install a manual switch. The power cable, equipped with a red insulator, is connected to a button that is mounted on the instrument panel or center console. If a 2-DIN device with support for a rear view camera is mounted, then the housing with the lens is installed on the handle of the luggage compartment lid.

The cable is routed through the hole in the license plate light. The position of the video camera is adjusted using a flexible metal bracket or spacers. The equipment is connected to the on-board network through the reversing lights; the image is displayed only when the car is moving in reverse.

The VAZ plant equipped some of the Priora cars produced with a standard head unit; the basic modifications were only prepared for independent installation of equipment. The mounting sockets are designed for standard products; it is possible to install a 2-din radio in a first-generation Priora, but this requires modification of the internal elements of the instrument panel.

Alternative options

If the car owner is not satisfied with the standard MMC device on the Veste, they recommend using a 2DIN radio. Retail chains offer the following options for multimedia systems:

Chinese 7010B, 7021G, 7023B, AD-UNI707, C1060706A, MEKEDE MKD, RK-A701.
Russian multimedia system PROLOGY DVU-750.
The devices PROLOGY DNU-2630, SWAT AHR 4180, NAVIPILOT DROID4, DVM 2117 IQ have also proven themselves well.

Some models of 2DIN devices require an adapter frame, without which it is impossible to install a new audio device.

Installation on the first generation Priora

To install the car radio in its original location, you need:

Disconnect the battery from the vehicle's on-board network.
Remove the 1DIN decorative frame with a box for small items from the center console of the instrument panel. The assembly is held in place by plastic latches located in pairs at the top and bottom of the drawer. Removal is carried out by pulling the part towards you; it is possible to bend the edges with a plastic mounting spatula.
The rear has mounting points for the factory patch harness equipped with ISO connectors. It is necessary to disconnect the plugs from the box, which is then set aside.
Connect the pads to the radio and check the operation of the device. Priora cars are supplied from the factory with a constant supply of positive power, independent of the position of the key in the ignition switch. It is necessary to change the wire connection, following the operating instructions for the head unit. The positive signal sent when the ignition is turned on is taken from the rear window heating button.
Lay the wire leading to the external antenna. The cable runs under the plastic trim of the A-pillars and the roof panel. To reduce the likelihood of noise, the wire is wrapped in fabric insulating tape or foam rubber.
Reinstall the removed trim elements.
Connect the antenna power from the ISO connector and check the functionality of the acoustic device in radio receiver mode.
Place the standard mounting shaft into the hole in the center console. The part is attached using tabs that are pressed out with a screwdriver. During installation, it is necessary to ensure maximum fit density, which will reduce vibrations of the radio when moving.
Connect the power, speaker and antenna plugs to the connectors on the back of the head unit. Place the radio in the guide shaft until the locking latches engage. Check the tightness of the installation, and then place the decorative frame in place.

To install a 2 DIN radio you will need:

Remove the front trim of the instrument panel along with the central air ducts.
Cut the connecting jumper between the standard socket for the radio and the plug. Expand the rectangular hole to the dimensions specified in the technical documentation for the head unit.
Using a saw, modify the plastic frame inside the instrument panel.
Place metal guide slides in the resulting window on the front trim and secure them by bending the triangular fasteners.
Reinstall the removed parts, and then connect the new head unit and insert it into the guide shaft.
Check the functionality of the equipment, configure the radio receiver and loudspeakers.
Install a decorative frame located around the perimeter of the front panel of the radio.

How to properly remove a radio without special keys

Many motorists face the problem of removing the radio in their car. Some people cannot remove the standard device installed at the factory, others inherited the music along with the car, and others simply lost special keys. There are also plenty of reasons for dismantling - from repairing wiring to buying a new stereo system. Hence the demand for information arose on how and with what help you can carefully remove the car radio without damaging the plastic of the front panel. And although the operation is primitively simple and can be easily performed with improvised means, there are pitfalls in it that you need to be aware of.

Installation in Lada Priora 2

Priora 2 cars are equipped with a standard 1 DIN size radio with a trapezoidal front part. The display is located on the top of the instrument panel, which makes it easier to read information.

Basic configurations were not equipped with a head unit; plastic plugs were installed on the central part of the instrument panel.

The instrument panel has a standard harness for connecting the radio, equipped with an ISO connector consisting of two plugs.

Self-installation of the radio on Priora 2 includes several stages:

Unscrew a couple of screws located under the removable rubber mat in the niche for small items.
Remove the decorative leather cover of the gear selector knob, under which there are 3 additional screws for a Phillips screwdriver.
Remove the lower part of the center console; the gear shift knob remains in its original place.
Unscrew a pair of screws located under the climate control unit.
Use a spatula to pry and remove the 2 covers located above the button block and under the standard place for the radio.
Unscrew the remaining 4 screws and pull the front panel towards you.
After this, it is necessary to modify the panel or mount the equipment in a standard window and make adjustments.

The radio installed on the Priora must be connected through the ignition switch, which allows you to save settings and guarantees that the equipment is turned off after removing the key. It is necessary to modify the standard plugs by supplying additional power from the buttons in the instrument panel.

The new generation of Lada Priora cars is equipped with a more modern dashboard, which provides a standard place for placing a multimedia system or on-board computer. This design feature is actively used by some car enthusiasts when making modifications. We are talking about installing a tablet in Priora.

This solution allows you to significantly expand the functionality of the multimedia system, using the device as a navigator, on-board computer, or monitor. Listen to music, watch movies, the possibilities are almost endless. For installation, you can use a device from any manufacturer, but you should remember that products with a screen diagonal of 7 inches are most suitable.

Choosing the sound in the car

The device looks impressive

Owners of the Lada Priora can choose one or another sound timbre for their interior by pressing the EQ key and then selecting the style “classic”, “rock”, “pop”, “vocal”, etc. To more accurately adjust the parameters, you need to briefly press “ 8", then select the mode using keys 4-5 and 5-6 - the desired value. Here you can select “Fade” - balancing the front and rear speakers, “Balance” - harmonizing the side speakers, “Bass” - low frequencies, “Treble” - high frequencies. A review of the manual indicates that improved sound quality can be achieved by using the "Loud On" mode. In addition, in the same “section” you can set stereo or mono mode, enter sound signals for pressing keys (Beep On / Of), etc.

What are RDS features? Radio stations sometimes accompany their broadcasts with such options. For example, RDS in text form allows you to broadcast the name of a song, station, etc. on the display. In the “TA” mode, you can receive traffic information from certain radio stations on the display.

The disc playback mode is quite simple. The CD is inserted, started, paused using the "1" key, and after removal the radio automatically turns on. Scanning tracks (Int key) allows each track to be played for 10 seconds; to stop scanning, the key must be pressed again. Music from a disc can be played repeatedly (RPT button) or in random order (RDM). The radio successfully reads music from memory cards or via a USB connector. If the media contains music tracks, playback begins immediately after placing the media in the appropriate slot. Memory cards are ejected by pressing again.

Do-it-yourself installation of a radio in a Lada Granta

This article will discuss how to install a radio on a Lada Granta car. I would immediately like to say about the electrical connection of the radio. AvtoVAZ has made a significant step forward.

Now, when installing a radio, there is no need to run wires to power the radio and speakers; all this is included in the standard audio preparation of the car.

This is a big plus if you remember the tenth family, when the owners of tens and twelves had to do everything from A to Z, everything themselves.

Dimensions of the radio for installation in a regular place in the Lada Granta

The space for installing a radio in the dashboard console of a Lada Granta car is designed for 1 DIN radio. Here is an example of installing such a radio.

When installing a 2 DIN radio, you will need to cut the partition up and adjust the frame in the console to the size of your audio system, which will make your life somewhat more difficult

Operations for connecting a radio to a Lada Granta

The first thing you need to do is remove the plastic pocket installed in place of the future radio. To do this you will need a flat blade screwdriver. Having taken out the pocket, on the reverse side you will find slots where ISO connectors will be inserted to connect the radio.

You can learn more about them from the article “How to connect a radio with your own hands.” The connectors fit quite securely into pockets, meaning you don’t have to look for them in the wilds of the panel to make connections. Now you need to remove the metal frame from the radio and install it in the place where the plastic pocket was. Unbend the frame's antennae to lock it securely in place.

When installing the radio, you will not need any tool to change the shape of the holes (a file, a file), all dimensions have already been made in accordance with generally accepted standards for 1 DIN radio casings.

Installing speakers in the standard places of the front doors on the Lada Granta

In addition to the radio, for its normal operation, it will also be necessary to install speakers and acoustics in the car door.

To cut holes in the door trim, it is better to remove it from the car.

To do this, you need to dismantle the door handle, the plastic casing in which the door opening lever is installed, and the glass position adjustment handle (if you have a standard package).

See the article “Removing and installing door trim on the Lada Granta.” The door trim and metal frame of the front doors provide a size for 16 cm speakers.

In this case, the hole in the door frame is slightly larger and you will have to increase the plane from the mounting “ears” of the speaker to the mounting holes in the door; - If you decide to install 16 cm speakers, then you may have to modify the door frame here, since the speaker basket can It definitely won’t fit into the standard hole in the door hardware.

You will need a grinder or a jigsaw with metal files. We cut a hole of the required diameter and try on the speaker.

We connect the speaker and install it in place. We install door trim. We mount the frame for the metal grille of the speaker and, accordingly, firmly fasten the speaker to the door with 4 self-tapping screws. We install the speaker grille.

In addition, you may find the material from the article “Wiring diagrams of the Lada Granta” useful, which shows the blocks for connecting the radio power supply and connecting the speaker wires to it, blocks 17 and 18.

The “standard” configuration also includes wires leading to the speakers of the front doors of the car. So, the connection of the radio speakers in the doors is carried out through the rear harness, see the article “Wiring diagram of the rear wiring harness of the Lada Granta”, contacts on the block 16,17,18,19.

Keys for removing radio Ford Focus 2

The keys for removing the Ford Focus 2 radio are similar in size to those used for other Ford car models. The diameter of their hole is two centimeters, and the length is four and a half centimeters. As for other characteristics, the instrument is silver in color and made of metal. This is a durable and reliable material that has a high wear resistance, so it can last for a very long time.

It is worth paying attention to the purpose of the tool. It is intended only for dismantling the stereo. Helps get this job done quickly and easily. As practice shows, such keys are also suitable for other cars. For example, Mondeo 3, Transit and others.

Options for installing a tablet in Priora

There are several options for installing a tablet in Priora 2:

In the first situation, installation occurs much faster than in the second case. However, a significant disadvantage is that the tablet battery, when exposed to sub-zero temperatures in winter, will quickly lose its capacity or even fail. In addition, there is a possibility that in the hot season, when the car interior heats up, the battery may ignite (remember the story with tablet computers and spontaneous combustion of Samsung batteries). As a result, the car can burn out completely.

The second option involves independently modifying the tablet and resoldering some contacts. The point is that the tablet is powered directly from the battery in the car, so it can be turned on and off at any time, regardless of whether the radio is active or not. This approach provides a number of advantages, but it is more complex in implementation than the first, above-mentioned approach.

Which option to use - decide for yourself, it all depends on the level of preparation and the desire to delve into the essence of the issue in detail.

The process of installing and connecting a car radio

The installation process for car radios of different types and manufacturers is not much different from each other. To do this, the container without a radio is installed in a standard socket and fixed by bending outward the metal petals along its perimeter.

In modern cars, a special ISO standard connector is provided for connecting the car radio. The whole connection in this case comes down to the fact that you will need to insert the connecting block of the car radio into the corresponding ISO connector of your car.
In older cars, as well as in many domestic cars, the ISO connector is not provided by design. To install a car radio in this case, you will have to purchase the appropriate connector and connect it yourself. Fortunately, the wires on such connectors are usually marked and signed.

Let's move on to connecting the car radio wires to the ISO connector. Take a look at the connection diagram below. As can be seen from the diagram, the left side of the ISO connector is responsible for powering and controlling the radio, and the right side is for connecting speakers to it.

Typical connection diagram for a car radio
The main step in connecting a car radio is connecting the power. It is at this stage that most mistakes are made.

Power is connected to the car radio through a separate fuse using a flexible stranded wire with a cross-section of at least 3 mm 2. In most cases, it will be enough to use a 10 ampere fuse; it will reliably protect the power circuit from emergency situations.

The radio is powered through three wires: yellow, red and black.

+12 V (yellow) – main power wire. It powers the built-in amplifier and also serves to save car radio settings. This wire is connected through a fuse directly to the battery. It is advisable that the length of the wire from the battery to the fuse does not exceed 30 cm.

ACC (red) – control of turning on the car radio from the ignition switch. On many vehicles, the ignition switches have an ACC (accessory) position. When you turn the key to the ACC position, power is supplied to the car radio, interior heater and cigarette lighter socket, but the car's ignition system is de-energized.

GND (black) – connects to the negative terminal of the battery. But this is ideal. Due to the low power of the car radio, it is allowed to connect the black wire to the car body. You must first ensure good contact with the body by cleaning the joint from dirt and oxides. You can also use contact lubricant to protect them from oxidation.

Which tablet to put in Priora 2

As mentioned above, the main and basic requirement for a tablet computer is the size of its screen. In our case, this figure should be 7 inches. If we talk about specific device models, the most popular of them are:

The second requirement for the device is the ability to recharge it using a standard USB cord. The third, but important parameter is the quality of the device’s battery. Please note that when installed in a car, the battery of a mobile device will be subject to aggressive external influences in the form of heat or cold, and temperature changes.

Where is

Most often, the fuses for the standard audio device are located near the steering wheel. To the right of the column there is a hatch that covers the block.

You can find the tape recorder fuse for a large number of cars in this place. But this does not apply to Priora. In this model, the safety device is hidden on the back of the standard audio device.

Since this device is located separately from all others, if there is a malfunction, you should not remove the hatch and inspect the common unit.

Lada Priora Hatchback Luxury › Logbook › 2din in Priora 2 + console from 1st + Infinity watch

Hi all! Today I’ll tell you about someone’s multimedia update in Priora. Before this post, I already had a KONNWEI RK-701 radio tape recorder on Android 5.1; in general, the radio tape recorder was not bad; it then cost me 7,031.73 rubles. But there were a number of problems with it. 1. It was impossible to install Yandex navigator in the play market, it said your device is not supported. and accordingly, you can install it manually via APK, but there were problems downloading updates. Later I installed Yandexmarket and the problem was solved. 2. These are mechanical buttons on the front panel, the back button died after 2 weeks of use. Of course, I didn’t bother to repair it. 3. This hardware has a 2 core processor and 1 GB of RAM is not enough. I can’t install many applications because navigation alone consumed 350MB of RAM. 4. Android glitches in video mode when scrolling through the media library, the application periodically closed, which was wildly infuriating. 5. The GU settings menu was almost in engineering mode with a special password 66668888, which I found. ——————————————————————————————————————————————- But overall a good device for their money. —————————————————————————————————————————————- And so this device I I sold it for 6500, and started looking for something new without mechanical buttons and with better hardware. In general, from the burning goods I managed to snatch a super radio bosion BX-412, you can just say for nothing 7,965.88 rubles and so the config: 4-core percent 2gb RAM! CHARLES! although I ordered from 1st I just felt better. A full-fledged DVD, you can now even sing karaoke in the car))) there is an additional output for an external microphone. Android 6.0 is a very fast thing and does not bug like 5.1, and there is all the output for 2 additional monitors and 2 video cameras. In addition, they sent me a video camera included in the kit, which was also not in the description. functionally there is everything except TV ————————————————————————————————————————- from the minuses of Android 6.0 1. Navitel pirated does not work, when you click install it says that installation information was not found. now Yandex navigator is supported) 2. there is no multitasking like on 5.1, i.e. when playing a video, when you press the back button, the video was played in a minimized state and you could additionally open the navigation and look at the monitor with the map. 3. Immediately when you press the back button, the video closes and only maps work. not convenient. 4.but the minimized navigation works when the video is on. Convenient setup menu. but now you can’t add your own logo; on 5.1 this could be done. 5. When the engine starts, the radio reboots due to a voltage surge. On 5.1 this was not the case at all; the capacitor was soldered to the power supply. ————————————————————————————————————————————— As a result, the slide from the old radio was not They arrived and it was installed somehow on a temporary basis. Buying 2 din skids is quite a problem. I bought ACV full last time. they are already radio tape recorders. ===================================================== ========================

It's been a long time since I finally got around to installing it properly. I bought extra. frame for GU Car 2 DIN 178 mm * 100 mm 1,135.28 rubles Because in our city I couldn’t find anything suitable for a price up to 1,500 rubles. plus I took a new center console for 300 rubles, because the stock one was cut crookedly and with the melting it didn’t look like a fountain. On the new console, I already understood what and where to cut. And so to put the console from Priora 1 into Priora 2 You need to: Saw off from the top somewhere

4mm and along the edges in the same area from the top

6mm. this was done by fitting, removed and installed 15 times. ——————————————— Additionally, shorten the upper air duct-deflector by about 5mm as well. because if you leave it as is, the console sticks out about 7mm and does not fit flush with the torpedo. I sawed the bur by eye with a machine. Then on a plate with sandpaper I leveled the planes into a mirror. Next, I cut out a hole for the clock to install the Infinity clock on the Priora and began to cut out a window for 2din because the standard frame comes with a narrower one. I had to completely cut out the pocket in the trim as it was not necessary because the 2-din frame fit only 2cm deep. Well, installation. We install the standard console with 4 screws, insert the 2din slides and install the radio, voila and you're done. You can see about the installation of a second monitor in the place of the bk here. Also, who is interested in installing a 3rd monitor between the seats of a BMW style Prior? In terms of acoustics, we will finally install 16cm Bose speakers from W220 and 2 Alpine type r10 subwoofers in a circle. And also 4 video cameras (all-round view)

Lada Priora Sedan › Logbook › ♛ Tablet instead of BC Priora 2 SE sedan ♛

Hello!))) Well, my hands have also reached these changes. The regular BC was an eyesore, and it was of no use “like milk from a goat.” I looked at a lot of reviews, visited a certain number of pages of our Drivers (by the way, I grabbed information from different places, there were a lot of questions, but in one blog I didn’t find answers to all my questions, I had to look through many pages, so, I’ll try to answer all your questions in advance in this post... Look at the photos, videos, read the text and you’ll understand everything ...).Then one fine morning, and as you know, everything always happens “one fine morning” for me = D... I went to buy a tablet. I bought a budget one, I think for a while, the Prestigio wize 3067 3G model. DIMENSIONS 188 × 12.5 × 109 mm (what you need))). Possibility to install a SIM (which is very important for me), Flash card up to 16GB. Cost 2 thousand rubles. I bought it used, but in perfect condition (it was given to the old owner and it was lying around idle). And so the price, if I'm not mistaken, is from 3 thousand rubles. for a new one.

Lada Priora Hatchback SOCHI › Logbook › Screen on the center console

For about a year and a half now, the thought of installing some kind of multimedia installation on the center console has not left me. All this time I was looking for the most suitable option in terms of functionality, price, reliability and ease of installation. In my opinion, a multimedia system in a car must have several properties:

1. Playing music files + radio 2. Availability of navigation 3. Possibility of connecting a rear view camera 4. Bluetooth and with normal Hands Free 5. NOT MANDATORY, BUT... the ability to play video files

From the first five points, it is logical to assume the sixth point - the presence of a screen, optimally 7 inches.

Just as I think, if you have navigation and a rear view camera, the installation height of the monitor relative to the driver’s eyes is important.

The central console of the Priora (pre-restyling) was originally designed for a single-din balalaika, so the height of its location in the console did not matter. During the reystaling, this problem was solved by installing the monitor as high as possible, on the dashboard itself.

Based on all this, I obtained the following configurations throughout operation. The very first option was - Galaxy tab II tablet or my assistant on the road - part 1.

The advantages of this arrangement were ease of viewing, a navigator, a recorder, various multimedia... But the disadvantages of such an installation were more significant for me: firstly, a regular tablet is not intended for installation in a car and sooner or later it will fail due to heat or cold, -secondly, it is a bait for thieves. Thirdly, Android is quite difficult to make friends with a rear view camera ((Yes, yes, I have EasyCAP, and it even somehow worked, but all these delays, crashes and image glitches... Well, the last minus for me is that I didn’t find a way raise hands free on android((

About a year ago I thought about this installation: Remaking the center console for two monitors. Of course, I would like to have two monitors (the main mafon and a tablet) as close and as high as possible, but... This would involve major alterations: either sawing the floor of the dashboard, or removing the central air ducts. But I like universal solutions, so that if you don’t like it, you can return everything as before)))

We also considered solutions such as Parrot Asteroid, everything seems to be great, but the price, 5-inch screen, and generally there is little information on it.

Another option was ali. Where are we without the Chinese)) As it turns out, they have options for Android navigators with an AV IN input, but... Again, there is no hands free, although there is an input for the camera, the image is transmitted jerkily, well, not that...

All these considerations led me to the conclusion that the most suitable option for me would be to install a standard MMC Kalina-2/Priora radio.

Exactly hers, with a separate screen. It will all look something like this:

The radio itself has already been ordered, as soon as I install everything, there will be a detailed report. By the way, I have never seen this option anywhere, we will be pioneers. And if someone has already done this and I missed it, please let me know...

I also wanted to write about acoustics, but there’s a lot of text, then in the next post...

I thank everyone who finished reading the multi-book, maybe someone will take note of something from this article.

Features of removing a generator on a car with air conditioning

In a Lada Priora car with air conditioning, the air conditioning compressor and generator are driven by one belt. The design feature is such that it is impossible to dismantle the generator without removing the compressor. You must first disconnect the air conditioner pump from the bracket. This is the first difficulty encountered.

Generator Lada Priora from Bosch

A possible second problem awaits at the lower mounting of the generator. If the bolt is installed with its head towards the engine, it will not be possible to completely remove it . It is so long that it rests on the engine mount, and it is impossible to remove the generator. To remove the bolt, you need to jack up the engine and unscrew the mount. We advise you not to use this method. It’s easier to buy a new bolt and cut off the old one with a grinder. When installing the generator, install a new bolt, but with the head facing outward. This way you will save 10-15 minutes of your time in the future.

Options for installing a tablet in Priora

There are several options for installing a tablet in Priora 2:

an option when the mobile device is installed and powered from its own built-in battery;
when the built-in battery is removed and power is supplied from the vehicle's on-board network.

Which option to use - decide for yourself, it all depends on the level of preparation and the desire to delve into the essence of the issue in detail.

Features of installing car radios

According to the installation method, modern car radios come in two types: built-in and stationary.

Built-in car radios are usually equipped with a removable front panel or a special curtain - the devices are simple, but effectively protect the radio from theft.

Stationary car radios are usually installed by car manufacturers on the assembly line. Their original shape and non-standard sizes save them from theft.

When installing a car radio with your own hands, you need to consider the following features.

Firstly , you need to connect the radio only in accordance with the instructions. Failure to comply with this rule may lead to its failure or even fire. In this case, you should not use installation instructions for other car radios, since even the same manufacturer may have different plugs and wire markings depending on the model.

Most radios have a connection diagram on the top cover, and we will provide a typical connection diagram for a car radio below.

Secondly , you need to remember that the wiring of most domestic cars since Soviet times has been designed for the installation of radios and radios with mechanical settings, which can create additional inconvenience.

For example, in “Zhiguli” or “Samara”, regardless of the position of the key in the ignition switch, voltage is constantly supplied to the power cable of the car radio. But when you turn the key in the lock, the electrical circuit opens for a split second, which is enough to erase all settings from the memory of the radio (if it is not non-volatile).

Which tablet to put in Priora 2

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (with 7.0 screen);
more budget models from Lenovo (for example, the A3500 product).

Connecting your phone via Bluetooth to the multimedia system

As you know, Russian engineers installed a modern multimedia system with a touch monitor in the new Kalina. It is worth noting that in addition to the functions of displaying video and playing music, it allows you to connect the driver’s cell phone via Bluetooth wireless technology. So, what actions do you need to take to connect your phone to Bluetooth on the new Kalina 2? 1) First, in your mobile phone’s Bluetooth settings, check the box above the “Visibility to everyone” option. After that, turn on wireless technology. Once the connection is activated, you can proceed to the next steps.
